UpdatingContribRepositories

To include new packages into the contrib repository, you need to

  • download the sources
  • add the source to the master and MacOS branches of the contrib repository
  • include the package in the package - lines at the head of build_contrib in both branches
  • add a function that builds and installs this particular package for MacOS and Linux to build_contrib in both branches
  • publish the branches

Then, find someone with a Windows installation and force him to compile a suitable Windows-Version of the package. Note: this may be highly nontrivial and will be painful! Ensure that the package is avaiable in debug and release versions if applicable.

Then, create a zip - file for that Windows contrib package.
